< Isaiah 33 >

1 Woe to you who destroy, but you weren't destroyed; and who betray, but nobody betrayed you. When you have finished destroying, you will be destroyed; and when you have made an end of betrayal, you will be betrayed.
وَيْلٌ لَكَ أَيُّهَا الْمُدَمِّرُ الَّذِي لَمْ تُدَمَّرْ بَعْدُ، وَالنَّاهِبُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَنْهَبُوكَ، فَعِنْدَمَا تَكُفُّ عَنِ التَّدْمِيرِ تُدَمَّرُ، وَحِينَ تَمْتَنِعُ عَنِ النَّهْبِ يَنْهَبُونَكَ.١
2 LORD, be gracious to us. We have waited for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
يَا رَبُّ ارْحَمْنَا. إِيَّاكَ انْتَظَرْنَا، كُنْ عَضُدَنَا فِي الصَّبَاحِ، وَخَلاصَنَا فِي أَثْنَاءِ الْمِحْنَةِ.٢
3 At the noise of the thunder, the peoples have fled. When you lift yourself up, the nations are scattered.
مِنْ صَوْتِ ضَجِيجِكَ هَرَبَتِ الشُّعُوبُ، وَمِنَ ارْتِفَاعِكَ تَبَدَّدَتِ الأُمَمُ،٣
4 Your spoil will be gathered as the caterpillar gathers. Men will leap on it as locusts leap.
وَكَمَا يَلْتَهِمُ الْجَرَادُ كُلَّ مَا هُوَ أَخْضَرُ، هَكَذَا يُجْمَعُ سَلَبُكُمْ، وَيَتَوَاثَبُ النَّاسُ عَلَيْهِ كَتَوَاثُبِ الْجَنَادِبِ.٤
5 The LORD is exalted, for he dwells on high. He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
الرَّبُّ مُتَعَظِّمٌ لأَنَّهُ سَاكِنٌ فِي الْعَلاءِ. يَمْلأُ صِهْيَوْنَ عَدْلاً وَحَقّاً.٥
6 There will be stability in your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of the LORD is your treasure.
هُوَ ضَمَانُ أَزْمَانِكَ وَوَفْرَةُ خَلاصٍ وَحِكْمَةٍ وَمَعْرِفَةٍ، وَتَكُونُ مَخَافَةُ الرَّبِّ كَنْزَهُ.٦
7 Look, their valiant ones cry outside; the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
هَا رُسُلُكُمْ يَنُوحُونَ خَارِجاً، وَمُمَثِّلُو السَّلامِ يَبْكُونَ بِمَرَارَةٍ.٧
8 The highways are desolate, the traveler ceases. He has broken the covenant, he has despised the witnesses; he has no regard for man.
أَقْفَرَتِ الطُّرُقُ وَخَلَتْ مِنْ عَابِرِي السَّبِيلِ، نَقَضَ الْعَهْدَ وَازْدَرَى شُهُودَهُ، وَلَمْ تَعُدْ لِلإِنْسَانِ قِيمَةٌ.٨
9 The land mourns and languishes. Lebanon is confounded and withers away. Sharon is like a desert, and Bashan and Carmel are stripped bare.
نَاحَتِ الأَرْضُ وَذَوَتْ. خَجِلَ لُبْنَانُ وَذَبُلَ، وَصَارَ شَارُونُ كَالْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَنَفَضَ بَاشَانُ وَالْكَرْمَلُ عَنْهُمَا أَوْرَاقَهُمَا.٩
10 "Now I will arise," says the LORD; "Now I will lift myself up. Now I will be exalted.
فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: «الآنَ أَقُومُ، الآنَ أَنْهَضُ وَأَتَعَظَّمُ،١٠
11 You will conceive chaff. You will bring forth stubble. Your breath is a fire that will devour you.
فَكُلُّ مَا بَذَلْتُمُوهُ مِنْ جَهْدٍ أَيُّهَا الأَشُورِيُّونَ لَا جَدْوَى مِنْهُ كَالْحَشِيْشِ وَالتِّبْنِ وَصَارَتْ أَنْفَاسُكُمْ نَاراً تَلْتَهِمُكُمْ.١١
12 The peoples will be like the burning of lime, like thorns that are cut down and burned in the fire.
وَتُصْبِحُ الشُّعُوبُ كَوَقُودِ الْكِلْسِ، كَأَشْوَاكٍ مُسْتَأْصَلَةٍ مُحْتَرِقَةٍ بِالنَّارِ».١٢
13 Hear, you who are far off, what I have done; and, you who are near, acknowledge my might."
اسْمَعُوا أَيُّهَا الْبَعِيدُونَ مَا صَنَعْتُ، وَأَنْتُمْ أَيُّهَا الْقَرِيبُونَ اعْرِفُوا قُوَّتِي.١٣
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid. Trembling has seized the godless ones. Who among us can live with the devouring fire? Who among us can live with everlasting burning?
قَدِ ارْتَعَبَ الْخُطَاةُ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ، وَاسْتَوْلَتِ الرَّعْدَةُ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ، فَهَتَفُوا: مَنْ مِنَّا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَسْكُنَ مَعَ نَارٍ آكِلَةٍ؟ وَمَنْ مِنَّا يُمْكِنُهُ أَنْ يُقِيمَ فِي وَقَائِدَ أَبَدِيَّةٍ؟١٤
15 He who walks righteously, and speaks blamelessly; He who despises the gain of oppressions, who gestures with his hands, refusing to take a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing of blood, and shuts his eyes from looking at evil—
السَّالِكُ فِي الْبِرِّ، وَالنَّاطِقُ بِالْحَقِّ، وَالنَّابِذُ رِبْحَ الظُّلْمِ، وَالنَّافِضُ يَدَيْهِ مِنْ قَبْضِ الرِّشْوَةِ، الصَّامُّ أُذُنَيْهِ عَنِ الاسْتِمَاعِ إِلَى مُؤَامَرَاتِ سَفْكِ الدِّمَاءِ، الْمُغْمِضُ عَيْنَيْهِ عَنِ التَّأَمُّلِ فِي الشَّرِّ،١٥
16 he will dwell on high. His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks. His bread will be supplied. His waters will be sure.
هُوَ الَّذِي يَسْكُنُ فِي الْعَلاءِ، وَمَلْجَأُهُ مَعَاقِلُ الصُّخُورِ، يُؤَمَّنُ لَهُ خُبْزُهُ. وَيُكْفَلُ لَهُ مَاؤُهُ.١٦
17 Your eyes will see the king in his beauty. They will see a distant land.
سَتَشْهَدُ عَيْنَاكَ الْمَلِكَ فِي بَهَائِهِ، وَتُبْصِرُ أَرْضاً تَمْتَدُّ بَعِيداً.١٧
18 Your heart will meditate on the terror. Where is he who counted? Where is he who weighed? Where is he who counted the towers?
يَتَذَكَّرُ قَلْبُكَ أَزْمِنَةَ الرُّعْبِ فَتَتَسَاءَلُ: أَيْنَ الْكَاتِبُ الْحَاسِبُ؟ أَيْنَ جَابِي الْجِزْيَةِ؟ أَيْنَ مَنْ يُحْصِي الأَبْرَاجَ؟١٨
19 You will no longer see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that you can't comprehend, with a strange language that you can't understand.
لَنْ تَرَى الشَّعْبَ الشَّرِسَ فِيمَا بَعْدُ، الَّذِي يَتَكَلَّمُ لُغَةً أَجْنَبِيَّةً لَا تَفْهَمُهَا.١٩
20 Look at Zion, the city of our appointed festivals. Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a quiet habitation, a tent that won't be removed. Its stakes will never be plucked up, nor will any of its cords be broken.
التَفِتْ إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ مَدِينَةِ أَعْيَادِنَا، فَتَكْتَحِلَ عَيْنَاكَ بِمَرْأَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، الْمَسْكَنِ الْمُطْمَئِنِّ وَالْخَيْمَةِ الثَّابِتَةِ الَّتِي لَا تُقْلَعُ أَوْتَادُهَا إِلَى الأَبَدِ وَلا تَنْقَطِعُ حِبَالُهَا٢٠
21 But there the LORD will be with us in majesty, a place of broad rivers and streams, in which no galley with oars will go, neither will any gallant ship pass by there.
هُنَاكَ يَكُونُ الرَّبُّ لَنَا بِجَلالِهِ مَكَانَ أَنْهَارٍ وَجَدَاوِلَ وَاسِعَةٍ لَا يَبْحُرُ فِيهَا قَارِبٌ ذُو مِجْدَافٍ، وَلا تَمْخُرُ فِيهَا سَفِينَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ،٢١
22 For the LORD is our judge. The LORD is our lawgiver. The LORD is our king. He will save us.
لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ هُوَ قَاضِينَا، الرَّبُّ هُوَ مُشْتَرِعُنَا، هُوَ مَلِكُنَا وَسَيُخَلِّصُنَا٢٢
23 Your rigging is untied. They couldn't strengthen the foot of their mast. They couldn't spread the sail. Then the prey of a great spoil was divided. The lame took the prey.
لَقَدِ اسْتَرْخَتْ حِبَالُ أَشْرِعَتِكَ، فَلا يُمْكِنُهَا شَدُّ قَاعِدَةِ السَّارِيَةِ أَوْ نَشْرُ الشِّرَاعِ، حِينَئِذٍ نَقْسِمُ الْغَنَائِمَ الْوَفِيرَةَ. حَتَّى الْعُرْجُ يَنْهَبُونَ السَّلَبَ.٢٣
24 The inhabitant won't say, "I am sick." The people who dwell in it will be forgiven their iniquity.
لَنْ يَقُولَ مُقِيمٌ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ إِنَّهُ مَرِيضٌ، وَيَنْزِعُ الرَّبُّ إِثْمَ الشَّعْبِ السَّاكِنِ فِيهَا.٢٤
